Without a confirmed issuing authority, attribution hinges entirely on die study and metal analysis. Several staters of this weight class and period have been tentatively linked to cities along the western Anatolian coast or the northern Aegean, regions where Greek civic identity and coinage authority were both contested during the prolonged fallout of the Greco-Persian Wars.
